[A/S] Update on our LY and more towed car questions



We retrieved our Land Yacht today and am pleasantly surprised at the care
give to us and the detail taken to get us going again.

<memory refresh>
We purchased a used 1993 33' Land Yacht, took it on our honey moon, only to
have the air suspension fail, rear breaks fail, and a huge leak in the
roof... The breaks were repaired in Jackson WY, suspension was patched at
the same time...
Called A/S when we got home, made an appointment to bring it in, waited
several weeks to take it to Jackson Center, dropped it off, and discovered
it would be worked on when they got to it - weeks later... after a couple
phone calls, they got to the motorohome.

<reload memory>

We picked it up today with everything on the list repaired and we are very
happy... and cannot wait for the next time we can go "camping" -- if you can
call this CAMPING :)

Now, another TOWED CAR QUESTION....

I have been researching the subject and found there are very few brands that
can be towed with all four wheels on the ground. This lends me to ask...

What do you pull?
How do you pull it (4 wheels down, dollie?)
How much weight do you pull?
Did you change the hitch to get the weight?

A/S tells me that they only put 2500 pound hitches on the 1993.

Required vehicle; mid sized SUV, AutoTransmission (for my wife).
Optional: 4x4 (for me:)
